    I love how Yale grad Matthew Barney almost had everyone fooled as the "Greatest artist of this generation" during his Cremaster Cycle exhibit some years back at the Gugg. He had worked on it for 10 years and released 5 films and was sponsored a big artist rep

    But at the same year Peter Jackson released Lord of the Ring trilogy films and blew Barney work out of the water. it would have caused riots if the props it were allowed in the Guggenheim.

    • You're comparing The Cremaster with LOTR? Wait what?biusness
    • That is correct. Didn't you see the exhibit and hear all about the hubbub??robotron3k
    • I'm basically saying rich Yale grad who gets a show at the Gugg is way over rated just because he's a Yale-y.robotron3k
    • I was at the show and was like, "wait a minute, Jackson is way better artist/filmmaker that this dude."
